Conditions

Intubation Intratracheal

Interventions

After tracheal intubation, the cutaneous-epiglottoic distance will be measured in 80 patients so that this new predictor can be related by multivariate statistical analysis with the number of intubati

Eligibility

Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adult patients of both sexes who will undergo general anesthesia under tracheal intubation

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Obese patients with a BMI greater than 35kg/m2, with obstructive sleep apnea, with a previous history of difficult tracheal intubation or who have any predictive sign of difficult intubation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Establish the relationship between the minimum value of the cutaneous-epiglottic distance at which there will be greater difficulty in tracheal intubation, represented by the need for more than 1 attempt to perform the intubation.;Establish the relationship between the minimum value of the cutaneous-epiglottic distance in which there will be greater difficulty in tracheal intubation due to the need to use a device other than direct laryngoscopy to incubate the patient

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
